Legal advice for burnout at work
Questioner
I suffered a burnout at work in March this year due to excessive work pressure and work demands that were placed on me. Now I am slowly building it up again. I am now back to 5x5 hours per week. This in consultation with the company doctor. I also have a monthly evaluation meeting with my employer. I work in a shop where we also offer services such as energy contracts/internet providers. This is partly the reason why I suffered this burnout because it has very little to do with my daily work and costs me too much unnecessary energy. So now they ask me during the evaluation meeting how many of these types of contracts I think I am going to offer within my working hours. While I think that this meeting is about completely different things, namely about me and my progress in terms of my health. Can they just ask me this and immediately link a target to it that I then also have to sign?Lawyer
Your employer must take into account the advice of the company doctor and your limitations. This means that, given the nature of the complaints, they cannot simply impose targets on you if this was the cause of the burnout. They may ask for this, but the goal is reintegration. I advise you to inform the employer that this is your first priority and that targets can be discussed later. Do not sign anything. If you are unable to reach an agreement (yet), I would be happy to look at your case.Take the next step
